--- title: "Hobart 033: the fill valve stayed open too long" description: "What 033 means on Hobart 033: the fill valve stayed open too longs, what to check before booking, and when it is not a failure at all." url: "https://commercialappliancerepair.center/error-codes/hobart-033/" --- # Hobart 033: the fill valve stayed open too long The control times every fill. ## What 033 actually means. The control times every fill. When the valve has been open past that limit, the LXn shows Fill valve error with 033. Hobart's first steps are the same supply checks as 032, and if the error persists, turning the water supply off before calling for service. Hobart commercial appliance display · also shown as Error 033 What to do when 033 shows on the commercial appliance ### Kind of code Water, fill and drain Water is not arriving, not reaching its level, not heating or not leaving on time. A dish machine may be short of fill because a supply valve is half closed or its line strainer is clogged, it may drain slowly through a scrap basket full of debris, or its booster may be too scaled to heat the rinse; a combi's steam generator may be scaled or its water treatment exhausted; a washer-extractor may time out on a slow drain. Opening the supply valve, cleaning strainers with the unit off and checking the drain line are fair; a pump, a fill valve, a heater or a leak near wiring is a visit. ### Usually leads to Dish machine repair Undercounter, door-type and conveyor dish machines: tank heaters, boosters, wash pumps, fill and drain valves. ### Shows up as Commercial Appliance Error Code on a Combi, Fryer, Dish Machine or Laundry Display A commercial appliance error code appears as letters or numbers on a combi, fryer, reach-in controller, dish machine or laundry machine display, or as a flashing light or an alarm tone. ### Make Hobart A Hobart dish machine that stops holding its rinse heat is usually seen right after the lunch racks clear, so the tank can drain and cool. ### Source Hobart LXn / LXGn series instructions manual F41243 (10-23), error code chart Hobart LXn and LXGn undercounter machines (LXnC, LXnH, LXnR, LXGnPR, LXGnR) with the touchscreen control, per instructions manual F41243.

Each step comes from Hobart's own guidance for 033 on its commercial appliances. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit. 01 Confirm the supply valve is fully open and nothing is crushing the fill hose. 02 Press ENTER to clear the message. 03 If 033 returns, turn the water supply to the machine off so it cannot overfill. 04 Book a visit so the fill valve and level sensing can be tested. ### Still there? It usually turns into [dish machine repair](https://commercialappliancerepair.center/services/dish-machine-repair/). Book with the code and the model number. ### What not to do 033 is not the same as 032, where the tank simply fills too slowly. A valve that sticks open can overfill the tank, which is why Hobart asks for the water to be shut off if the error persists. ## What you may notice with it.

Confirm the supply valve is fully open and nothing is crushing the fill hose. If it comes back, it needs a visit. ### Why should I shut the water off after a Hobart 033? A fill valve that will not close can keep feeding water into the machine. Turning the supply off prevents a flood until the valve is checked. ### Can low water pressure cause 033 on a Hobart? It can, because a slow fill keeps the valve open longer. That is why Hobart asks for the 15 to 65 psi check first. ### Is water on the floor after 033 an emergency? If it is near an outlet or the machine's power, keep people away and switch the circuit off from a dry panel before cleaning up. --- **[Read on the site: Hobart 033: the fill valve stayed open too long](https://commercialappliancerepair.center/error-codes/hobart-033/)** **[Book a visit with CommercialApplianceRepair.center](https://commercialappliancerepair.center/schedule/)**
